Default 10 gal remote fuge for 29biocube.

ok, Since I can't do anything more with my tank until my other eqiupment arrives I have been toying with the Idea of a remote 10 gal Gravity return fuge. the HOB's just don't seem big enough to do much good, I also don't want it so crowded at the back that I can't work without knocking something askew.

I did some looking and can not find anything other than the drilled sump/fuge

Need a bit of help coming up with a good system.

The biocube's 1st chamber is notorious for detrius build up.
Can I use my Fluval cannister filter (fed to the bottom of the 1 st chamber) and fill the media baskets with floss and other media to remove detrius then have the return tied into the return pump hose?
Can I mod the overflow somehow to increase flow to compensate for what the cannister is pulling out or will it naturally increase with the extra flow from the return?

There is also a big debate over what is the best way to set up a fuge...6 inch DSB with rubble and macro algeas, barebottom with tumbling cheato, barebottom with rubble and cheato, there are so many.
What set up do some of you that have refugiums use?

My goals are to have extra water Volume, filtration and Pod Population.
